As I said on my tumblr, "fuck that movie."
I haven't watched it yet, because I need to finish the graphic novel first. What was so wrong with it?
Well, just to begin with, they promised to fix the sexist elements of the original, and somehow managed to make it worse, while making a specific character within it way more annoying. The story is also structurally compromised, because the new shit they added is totally irrelevant- like, literally not even brought up once the stuff in the comic starts happening- and adds nothing interesting. Despite all this, they also made no concessions to the film format to make the story flow better, so it's a bad adaptation too.
It's just a worse version of the comic, in every sense bar maybe Mark Hamill's performance, if you happen to like his Joker.
